Although numerous studies have examined the psychometric properties and clinical utility of the Personality Assessment Inventory in correctional contexts, only two studies to date have specifically focused on suicide ideation. This article examines the convergent validity of the Suicide Ideation Scale and the Suicide Potential Index on the Personality Assessment Inventory in a large, nontreatment sample of male and female federal inmates (N = 1,120). The data indicated robust validity support for both the Suicide Ideation Scale and Suicide Potential Index, which were each correlated with a broad group of validity indices representing multiple assessment modalities. Recommendations for future research to build upon these findings through replication and extension are made.
尽管众多研究已考察了人格评估量表在惩教环境中的心理测量特性和临床效用，但迄今为止只有两项研究专门聚焦于自杀意念。本文在一个由男性和女性联邦囚犯组成的大型非治疗样本（N = 1120）中，检验了人格评估量表中自杀意念量表和自杀潜能指数的收敛效度。数据表明，自杀意念量表和自杀潜能指数都得到了有力的效度支持，它们各自与一组代表多种评估方式的广泛效度指标相关。本文还提出了未来研究的建议，以便通过重复研究和扩展研究来基于这些发现进一步开展工作。
